dispatch is amazing.......2006-04-16

this dvd is insane. wish they didnt break up the concert footage with interviews though. should of just put them at the end. regardless, dispatch is an amazing band and they are crazy musically talented. too bad they arent together anymore...

Its ok.......2005-04-25

The music on the DVD is wonderful! but I really could have done without the interviews in between the song. Once you really start getting into the music, your interupted with a boring interview or story. This would have been a great special feature, but they had to mix it in during the concert footage.

"Patchwork" is definately a BONUS........2005-01-09

The DVD is worth the money alone. "Patchwork" only makes this unquestionably worth the money. The version of "Passerby" on this DVD is amazing, as are many of the other alternative live versions of songs on the "Gut the Van" album. The bonus material is great....I didn't even watch it for four months after I owned the DVD, being that the compilation of live performances on the general bulk fo the DVD kept me happy for the time until I watched the extra features on "All Points Bulletin," which piqued my interest in what could be on the bonus features here.

The cd contians live audio footage of a few of the songs from the DVD, along with remixes of "The General" and "Bang Bang" that are pretty good....they're filler, but not bad. The DVD contains some superb versions of songs, the best being, "Passerby," "Time Served" and a chilling just-after-9/11 (performed in NYC, no less) version of "The General" that, well, it captures the sentiment of the time, I'll say. The live version of "Mayday" rivals the version on "APB," with Braddigan kicking into a "Shine On" (Pink Floyd/David Gilmour)-like guitar solo in the middle of the song.

Overall, a great concert DVD with some really good camera work, that was carried through in the "All Points Bulletin" DVD/CD set, which is the only piece of work that really rivals this one, but the thing is, there shoudln't be cometition between them. You should have both!

The Best of Dispatch.......2004-11-21

First off let me start off by saying that this is one of the greatest releases in live concert footage by any band in a long time. Having been a fan since they were "One Fell Swoop" I have been amazed by their comeback. This DVD and CD together are absolutely wonderful. The DVD is packed with live footage, and interviews about how the band came to be, and some other prettty cool stories. This DVD is loaded with extra features, where we get to see the threesome in their every day life. The DVD consists of 19 of their best songs, mixed in with a lot of interviews.

The songs on the DVD are as follows:

1)Cover This
2)Mission
3)Two Coins
4)Passerby
5)One Truth
6)Open Up
7)Time Served
8)Elias
9)Bullet Holes
10)Walk With You
11)Bang Bang
12)Even
13)Gasoline Dreams
14)Lightning
15)Spades
16)Flying Horses
17)Mayday
18)Bats
19)General

The most amazing thing about the DVD is the amount of emotion that is put forth during the live concerts. Also, during every one of the songs the musical abilities come foward like never before. For example during flying horses Braddigan is playing the Harmonica and the Conga at the same time. Dispatch is one of the most musically gifted groups out there, and I think that it comes through on this disc.

The Bonus CD consists of 7 songs

1) Bang Bang Remix
2) The General Remix
3) One Truth
4) Gasoline Dreams
5) Mayday
6) Walk With You
7) Fat Ol' Pig

I did however find a few things wrong with the DVD, but nothing to demote the DVD. The first thing that I found was the song selection could have been a little better. Although the DVD does include some of the best version of Mayday, Walk With You, Two Coins, Flying Horses, and Elias, I thought that they could have replaced some songs. I thought they could have taken off Gasoline Dreams, Fat Ol' Pig, and One Truth, and instead put in some of Dispatch's better songs like Water Stop, Railway, Carry You, and most of all Steeples. I don't know how they forgot to put Steeples onto this disc, but none the less this is one of the greatest buys dollar for dollar.

Excellent.......2004-04-12

...I got this DVD because I had never seen Dispatch concert footage. I had only listened to 'Bang, Bang' and 'Silent Steeples'. So, when I saw this DVD I was surprised to see that the three members move around the instruments a lot. The concert footage is awesome. Some great guitar solos I must say. This DVD also helps you learn about the background of the band. It explains their touring history, and their views on Napster. I love it. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is due to me not being familiar with a lot of the songs. I guess I just have to get used to it. The CD is good as well. A bunch of great tunes.
